The Soviet paratroopers have a long history. The world’s first paratrooper unit was formed by the Soviet Union. It had not yet fought World War II. During the parade on Red Square in Moscow, the paratroopers fell from the sky and shocked all spectators. From that time on, the military attaches present had an idea that they must form their own country's paratroopers!
At the same time, what is even more surprising is that the Soviets also dropped a tank by air. Although this small tank could not be started after it landed, it was towed away in the end, but the surprise to them was still very great. Strong. If you drop this force in the capital of your country, what will happen
The result is of course quite terrible.
The capitals of many countries have no garrisons. They are usually near the capital. When the garrisons arrive, the government has been overthrown and the top leaders are killed.
Paratroopers originally only had light weapons. When the paratroopers were equipped with chariots, it was different. They had greater mobility and stronger fire support.
Now, the newest Soviet paratrooper fighting vehicle is this BMII paratrooper fighting vehicle.
This kind of vehicle has a low profile, less than 2 meters high, narrow tracks, and light weight of the vehicle. It can be transported by a transport plane. At the same time, it also has a 73 mm smoothbore gun and can be equipped with anti-tank missiles. , The combat effectiveness is very strong.
Although it can be airdropped, but in this situation, it is obviously a better decision to start directly.
An-22 is a super transport aircraft, in its belly, a total of six such paratrooper vehicles are loaded.
The first small paratrooper vehicle rumblingly moved down, and the paratroopers sat on it and swiftly moved towards the strategic point.
The first is the tower.
However, before they arrived, the soldiers who got off the helicopter had already taken control of the tower.
This time, more than 300 people came here, including the transport plane and the Mi-24 helicopter escorted.
Of course, they are just a forward. Their task is to control the airport and welcome the arrival of the follow-up troops!
How many more follow-ups
Hundreds of An-22, An-12 and Il-76 transport aircraft! The Soviet military operations either do not move or move, that is, landslides and landslides. Transportation of this scale uses almost all the transportation forces of the entire Far East, and can send the entire 105th Airborne Division all at once!
At the same time, on the sea, there is already a huge fleet coming towards Kushiro Port.
The task of the 105th Division is to land at the airport in Kushiro. From here, control the port of Kushiro and insist on the arrival of the main armored division at sea, and you can sweep the entire Hokkaido!
Now, in the tower of this civil airport, people are quite nervous.
"Sapporo, Sapporo, please pick me up from Sapporo immediately." An island countryman shouted on the phone. With the radio interference, they could no longer use the radio, and wired telephones could not get through.
"Boom." The door outside was kicked open. There was no resistance or confrontation. Looking at the black holes of the guns, the islanders here had only one question, is the Third World War about to break out
"Using the reserved channel to guide our transport aircraft to land," said Morenko, the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 345th Regiment of the 105th Airborne Division.
As long as the transport planes land safely, their troops will grow more and more. Now, even though they have occupied this place, they are still at their weakest time.
Yokota.
"Our contact with Kushiro was interrupted, and there was strong electromagnetic interference there." Lieutenant General Paul James, listening to the report of his subordinates, immediately felt relieved.
The conflict this time was rehearsed completely according to Kitty Hawk’s predictions. The service conflict was temporarily set aside. This time the Kitty Hawk did a great job and helped us a lot!
The Soviets, really dare to use the airborne troops to pretend to be a civil aviation passenger plane. This time, the Soviets must die ugly!
"Take off the AWACS immediately. From now on, all the aviation forces must obey the command. Let us fight the defense of Hokkaido!"
The United States has always been a tortoise, and it has been there for several years. Even the Soviets shot down a civil airliner. The United States only dared to protest and protest again, but now it is different!
The Soviets actually wanted to cross the sea to land in Hokkaido, and they had to take the initiative to provoke a war. Of course, oneself should no longer deliberately avoid conflicts with the Soviets, but must fight back fiercely!
At Yokota base, an E-3 early warning aircraft that had been on standby for a long time slowly slid onto the runway.
When radar was invented, it immediately became the eye for observing the sky, making enemy aircraft flying invisible. However, due to the influence of the curvature of the earth, radar could not observe aircraft flying at ultra-low altitudes.
Only by moving the radar to the sky and illuminating the ground can this goal be achieved. However, the clutter on the ground will interfere, and the target cannot be found from the clutter.
This is the first problem of AWACS.
The United States has successfully solved these problems by relying on its own advanced electronic technology. At the same time, it has developed the latest E-3 early warning aircraft using the latest Boeing 707 airliner.
From the outside, the large plate on the back of its plane is the most special place compared to other planes.
This large plate is a radome with a diameter of 9.1 meters and a thickness of 1.8 meters. It is supported by two pillars at a height of 3.3 meters from the fuselage. A radar antenna system is installed inside.
(Yes, this radar antenna is a flat-slot radar antenna, so the big plate is very flat. The American technology is so developed, which makes people enviable.)
This radar system enables E-3 to provide radar surveillance capabilities for the atmosphere, ground, and water. For low-altitude flying targets, the detection range is more than 320 kilometers, and the detection range for mid-air and high-altitude targets is longer. The identification friend or foe system on the radar system has the ability to look down and resist ground clutter interference.
Of course, such a state-of-the-art early warning aircraft is also quite expensive. According to the current currency value, it is as high as 270 million U.S. dollars, which is definitely a strategic weapon.
After the development of the E-3 early warning aircraft was completed, the first batch of early warning aircraft was sent to Western Europe, and last year, the Yokota base was finally assigned this advanced E-3 early warning aircraft.
Now everything is under control!
The weather conditions at the Yokota base are good. The large E-3 early warning aircraft, four engines hung under the wings, eject hot gas backwards, and the huge body slowly accelerates and accelerates, and only slowly at the end of the runway. Pull up.
A large plate was placed on the back of the plane, and the aerodynamics was greatly affected. This kind of plane must be served carefully. (End of this chapter)
